Use
The WMF AMBIENT Kräuter @home is a stylish cachepot which combines plant care and indoor
decoration:
▪ It is perfect for 2 herb/plant pots and soil (standard Ø 12cm, height 10cm).
▪ It has an intelligent water supply system using wick watering. The plants take just as much water
as they need. This prevents over- and under-watering.
▪ Thanks to the elegant water-level display (2) you always know when you need to top up the water
tank (4).
▪ A filled water tank (4) lasts for up to four days (depending on the plants' need for water and the
temperature of the room).
▪ The individually controllable ambient light has three different brightness settings. Simply touch the
stainless steel casing (5) to switch it on.
▪ Please note that no electrically conductive objects should be placed near the device, and ensure
that the cable is not twisted to guarantee trouble-free use of the WMF Easy Touch function.
